One upon a time you could create a free M365 developer environment and then use the email address/es to start a BC trial. As we all know, a BC trial never runs out if you don’t use Production. The multiple “users” you get with the M365 enables you to test approval flows and permission and roles.

You can’t ask for help on LinkedIn because it’s a b2b platform so the likelihood is that the customer who you’re doing the work is also there.
